An easy way to test them is to connect the pig tail to the positive terminal of a 12 volt battery and the body to the negative terminal. This charges them up. Now ground the pig tail to the body and, if it is good, you should see a nice fat spark. In some cases the condenser will have two leads. One goes to ground and one to the points hot wire. Connect them by the color coding of the wires. If both wires have the same color, they can be connected either way. Same way to test. One wire to positive and one wire to negative to charge and then touch them together. You should get a nice spark if they are good.

all a condenser is a small capacitor after all. When i used to be a forklift technician we used to find some capacitor's that was around 3" thick and 6" long . used to play a trick by charging them up and leaving them on the bench for the intended victim when the touched the contacts OUTCH ! was a bit cruel but all a bit of a laugh
